How can the Atonement help me during my trials?


Please read the following in preparation for class on Sunday, March 31:
As part of His atoning sacrifice, the Savior took upon Himself our pains and sicknesses. Because He has experienced our trials, He knows how to help us. When we exercise faith in Jesus Christ, He will give us strength and ease our burdens.
  • Matthew 11:28–30; Philippians 4:13; 1 Nephi 17:3; Helaman 5:12; D&C 68:6 (Jesus Christ can give us strength and ease our burdens)
  • Mosiah 23:12–16; 24:8–17 (The Lord strengthens the people of Alma to help them bear their burdens)
  • Alma 7:11–13 (Jesus Christ understands our suffering because He experienced it)
  • “Adversity,” True to the Faith (2004), p. 8–11 

Bonus:
In our lesson last week, what did Sister Tapahe draw on the board as an object lesson to introduce our lesson on “What is Grace?”
